Hi Everyone. I'm new to the forum and snowmobiles Too. I have a slight home mechanics background (hillbilly fixer). Me and 4 friends bought some snow mobiles after a drunken weekly Wednesday night poker game and a crazy idea to use snowmobile to find shed (animal horns) which we usually snow shoe in for. they are all rmk sleds (800,700,550) 98 to 2001. Mines the 2001 800 rmk. Please bare with me here i have lots of questions.
1. are the maintenance parts interchangeable between all these. ( spark plugs, Jets, belts etc.)
2. What do i need to go through before our first ride on these sled? (Part numbers and tools needed)
3. What should we carry thats a necessity tool and part wise for usual problems or break downs?
4. whats the good sites to buy the stuff from?
we are not planning on driving off the roads. using roads to get in then snow shoeing from road to find sheds. so not doing anything crazy. I'm the mechanic in the group so i usually buy the crap they pay me back and i do the work. Is there a source for picking up a service shop manual and will it work for all these machines? I've road dirt bikes and quads and utvs etc. is there any tips or things i should know before our first ride.
thanks in advance
